22
Q

Risk Ratio or Relative Risk

A

Formula: Risk Ratio = (Risk of disease in the group of primary interest / Risk of disease in the comparison group)
Represents: Compares the risk of a health event among one group with the risk among another group.

23
Q

Rate Ratio

A

Formula: Rate Ratio = (Rate for the group of primary interest / Rate for the comparison group)
Represents: Compares incidence rates, person-time rates, or mortality rates of two groups.

24
Q

Odds Ratio

A

Formula: Odds Ratio = (AD/BC)
Represents: A measure of the relationship between an exposure with two categories and health outcome.

25
Q

Attributal Proportion

A

Formula: Attributable Proportion = ((Risk for exposed group - risk for unexposed group) / Risk for exposed group) * 100%
Represents: A measure of the public health impact of a causative factor.

26
Q

Vaccine efficacy or effectiveness

A

Formula: Vaccine Efficacy = (Risk among unvaccinated group - Risk among vaccinated group / Risk among unvaccinated group)
Represents: The proportionate reduction in cases among vaccinated people.

27
Q

YPLL

A
  • Calculation from line listing
    Decide on end point
    Exclude all people who died at or after the endpoint
    Calculate YPLL for all people who died before the end point by subtracting the age at death from the end point
    YPLLIndividual = endpoint - age of death
    Sum the individual YPLLs
  • Calculation from a frequency
    Eliminate all age groups older than the endpoint
    For each age group left, identify the midpoint of the group
    Youngest + oldest + 1 / 2
    Identify the YPLL of all ages younger than the endpoint by subtracting the midpoint from the endpoint
    Calculate age-specific YPLL by multiplying the age group’s YPLL times then number of people in that age group
    Sum these YPLLs
28
Q

YPLL Rate

A

YPLL / population under the endpoint
